I got the day off on Friday the 3rd, but poor Kate had to work. Rather than pining away for her, I visited with Bill to play vidgames for the afternoon. Then I popped back up to pick up Kate from work. We caught Ron from Loveland and headed down to watch a showing of "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" at the Union Colony Dinner Theater. As always, we loved the venue and the performance was both top-notch and hilarious, especially the characters of Pseudolus and Hysterium plus Hero and Phillia.
The next day, Kate and I did a whirlwind cleaning of the house in preparation for our friends coming over for our annual BBQ. The dinner plans inadvertently became a grilled kabob night, which was great! We might have overdone it on the amount of food both prepped and consumed. But it was all delish so who cares? :-)
Afterward, most of us headed down to City Park for the city fireworks display. It'd been raining for most of the day, which seemed to scare most folks off. We had a nice spot on top of a hill with a great view.
If you're interested, here some vids of the display...

As much as a love fireworks, I can't stand the folks who don't consider the safety of others when firing them off. The only downside of the evening was watching as people were setting off fountains, poppers, and spark-shooting spinners along the sidewalks, in the streets, and even in the crowded park over the heads of the rest of us! C'mon, people, show a little consideration!!

Sorry about that! :-)
Anyway the display was great - we loved it! The finale was particularly good in my opinion - although I was too dazzled to remember to point my camera at it. Oh, well!
On Sunday, Kate and I did some seriously vegging out. We both ended up napping through the whole afternoon before I headed down to Bill's to do some board gaming.
All in all, quite an enjoyable and relaxing holiday weekend!
I hope all of you had an equally pleasant Independence Day weekend! Thanks - as always - for reading and have yourselves a great day!
